Also does anyone have a suggested tranny cooler? B&M is what ive been lookin at but they have a few options and different sizes. Also lookin for a temp gauge for the trans too.

Mine weren't rusty... A swift tap got them out. I would replace all the TRE's on the new steering and that's about it.

That could work too. You don't need that to get the actualt bolt (nut) off.

With shackle relocators (RC ones specifically) a boomerang shackle would kind of be pointless wouldn't it?

I would think at least the 97 and newer ones are the same.

Well does anyone know if that stuff I have pics of are any good? I found this stuff on eBay it's pretty cheap I just want to do a 2" budget boost. It's either this stuff or a kit from rubicon express but that's $360 n this stuff would run me $250.
